Hiya, Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK I can get my screen replaced or where I can get a new screen from? Sadly, theres a crack developed on mine and a load of dead pixels. cheers
Mine too. I haven't a clue how it happened. I sent it away for repair but the supplier said that there are no screens available... anywhere!
If you have any look, please post.
Cheers.
Hi both
If you have the xda exec go to your local o2 store and pay to send it away for a repair (if you have warranty this will be free!) and you might be lucky like me and some others and get a FREE replacement
You need to be the orginal owner of the xda exec though I think as I had to show proof of purchase even to send it away to get an estimate for the repair via o2.
With what oyu say about their not being any screens this might explain o2's stance saying they can't repair it within 7 days so you have been given a replacement instead :?:
Yeah, im with T-mobile. I think I heard that HTC will repair them for any except O2 who do it themselves which seems to tie in with what you are saying. I shall keep you posted.
Andy....did you meant warranty or insurance.... in the UK I have been quoted £115 plus vat i believe for a oem lcd.... problem is placing the actual order as you can see from my attatchment :evil: ...I have dealt with this chap ages ago and see that his atitude twards buisness has not changed :?

I tried looking on ebay / web for replacement LCD screens etc and it was going to be about £160 with a 3rd party repairer and that would have invalidated the 2 year warranty you get with the o2 exec so I went into the o2 shop and admitted that I dropped the xda and paid them £17.50 to send it away for an estimate.
They wrote on the form cusotmer dropped it and screen broke and as I say they sent me a replacement wihtin 14 days of me taking the exec in.
Putting what I experienced and PinkySlayer's comemnts together I think this is because they have no screens to replace them with so if you have an exec bite the bullet pay the £17.50 to send it away and you might get lucky too :lol:
Note I didn;t have their insurance or anything other than my receipt to say I purchased it form o2 6 months earlier.
Thanks for all the comments.
O2 suggested either an O2 shop or the XDA Repair Centre and as the shops as a PITA to get to, I decided on the Repair Centre. My mistake. I'll take the advice here and get to a shop and see what occurs.

here in austria you will be charged about €300 for rapair...

UPDATE
I eventually took my Exec to an O2 shop and they agreed to send it away for repair but explained that I would probably have to pay at least a couple of hundred. I then happened to speak to our O2 account manager and she said that if I had called her, she would have sent me a new replacement without question! Obviously, I rang the O2 shop and asked if I could have the unit back but no, I would have to wait 28 days before I could request it's return.
Earlier today, 27 days after dropping it off, I received a text to say it was ready for collection and guess what? It was a brand spanking new unit, replaced under warranty - no charges!
Cheers,
Ged.
replacement screen
This thread seems a little old but I think it's still relevant and in need of an update. I broke the screen on my vodafone v1640 for the second time, and found it difficult to locate anyone who sells screens. Here are my findings:
There seem to be two ebay sellers that have them - this one and this one.
Both seem to be priced right around $160US shipped.
Beware of ebay sellers that keyword-spam and try to sell you other kinds of LCDs. If you find it for less than $100, it's probably not the right one. A seller that seems to do this a lot is called easyworldwidetrading.
Once you actually find one, it's actually not that hard to replace the screen yourself. It took me 10 minutes - you just need the soft pry tools that ipod hackers use, and the "confidential service manual" from HTC. It can be found elsewhere on this board(but you can PM me if you can't find it).
http://www.pocketpctechs.com seems like a reputable joint, but they don't say they sell the screen by itself, only installed - if anyone's gonna break my stuff, it's gonna be me. I'm going to give them a call and see if I can pick one up from them, as they are "stumbling distance" from me.
About Qtek 9000 LCD screen, I found this on Ebay.fr

Hi I have looked on the forums and have found a bit about phone insurance. I stood on my XDA exec ( I know what a c**k) its knackered. The screen has popped the silver bit on the back has come up in one corner and the flip / rotate mech snapped so the screen flaps about in the wind.
Yes I was drunk
Yes I am stupid
Yes I have made a claim.
I have sent it in today to LSG (lloyds tsb phone insurnace). From looking at other web sites my concerns are as follows :-
1) They will not be able to get the parts to repair the exec.
2) If they replace my phone they will not be able to get an O2 one (I know the imate is the same but I like it in black).
From what I have read elsewhere people have had a real issue getting top of the range PDA's fixed (unless its by the network insurance when they mostly get new ones) Most of the time people get offerd a cash settlement.
Has anyone else claimed through Lloyds phone insurance or any other 3rd party insurance and got a replacement phone ?
If they want to settle for a cash sum. How much should it be ??
any help on this would be good ???
Have edited my first post to be more specific. Anyone ??
here is the answer to anyone who is interested. they tried to get me to take a nokia n91 or n80. I said no.
told them I wanted an exec or the cash. after about 10mins of holding ect I got a supervisor who tried to tell me how good the 91 was. I still said the same. put on hold again.
they came back on and said your exec is in the post.
here's the deal. full new boxed o2 xda exec.
I got my first on in feb 05. this one feels much more solid. the screen flip is much tighter it has come with new rom installed. seams faster.
phone signal is better.
the whole unit seams much more soild than the first one??
could it have been that my first unit was a recon ?
anyway very happy
It seams I spoke to soon. The screen has started to flicker (brown lines jumping all over the place) this is very random but the unit has done it about 5 times now.
It will have to go back.
Can I ask for Cash instead of a new phone ??
Phoned them. Sending it back.
Will make me a cash offer when the get the phone back.
Think im going to go back to Ipaq. Had nothing but problems with this phone.
Hi I have just had my claim paid up by the same insurance (lloyds bank) They told me they do not have any xda replacements and would either give me a nokia n91 or cash settlement I went for the cash they paid me £450 for a xda IIs (ba) £450 is the maximum they pay out so you would more than likely get the same.
I have been informed by a supervisor today that the max they will pay out is £600. They use GSMarena.com to price up what they pay out. Universal costs around 550 - 650 GBP depending on where you look.
The girl on the phone said they will price it on the day the get the damaged one they sent me back. They have 3 suppliers (she would not name them) and they take the average as the units value. I would think they then knock a bit off.
I expect at least £500.

How quickly did they pay you. I have read on other sites it takes them ages to sort it out.
If you look on there website it states a maximum figure of £450 I doubt they will go over it.
I am a platinum account holder and should be covered up to 600 GPB
We will see I will post when I find out.
Lloyds TSB insurance
Hi!
I've claimed for 2 Xda2i machines that I lost via lloyds TSB insurance which is part of my gold account. each time they've been great at sorting things out for me.
My last claim they informed me they had no replacements and so like others have already mentioned, went for the cash settlement. They paid me £450.
You can only claim twice in every yearly period so I've used up my 'allocation' as it were! I'll ring them next to see when I'm allowed to claim again if needs be. To minimise my risk, I've started carrying my phones in aluminium cases, in my pocket where they cannot fall out and get lost/broke screens again !
I recommend lloyds tsb insurance via lifestyle services group - quick hassle free insurance !
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!
Well got the call today. £569.00 offered and taken.
Going to jump ship to ipaq hw6915 here I come.
Ill no doubt be back.

Hi,
I bought an MDA Pro at eBay and it took me two weeks to get it.
I never tried to win an auction of a "refurbished" one, if the seller wrote that he "never turned it on".
If I have a broken device and get a refurbished one in exchange, why wouldn't I turn the exchanged device on and test it?
My advice to you:
1) Rewrite your text.
2) Limit your auction to EU and write in big letters that you do not ship to Africa, specially to Nigeria, due to all the scammers. This way they probably won't waste time with you.
3) Test your device. Take pictures of it when turned on. Explain all eventual faults, like scratches.
If you give a good description and if you test your device, you will certainly get serious bidders.
Cheers,
vma
Yeah saying you have never turned it on just looks suspicious. You gotta turn it on, try it out, make sure it works, and take working photos of it. Otherwise you will have a hard time selling it. I wouldn't buy based on what you've said.
Cheers, Mitchell
thanks....i have now switched it on and it works fine. your recomendations are greatly appreciated.
Good luck with your sale!
Hi all,
Recently I dropped my Vega and broke the glass and digitizer.
Curry's have told me that it wouldn't be economical to repair & charged me £20 for the pleasure.
I have also gotten various different quotes from other quite frankly dubious companies online all above £180.
So I have come to the decision that it would be a lot more risk free to just buy another one.
I'd like to know if anyone knows a good place to sell my broken Vega for parts? Everything else is tested and working fine on it. I would stick it on eBay but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be.
If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it if I can reclaim any of my money back.
Thanks very much
Simon
Where do you plan on purchasing a replacement mate?
I've been desperately trying to get a hold of a new one for two weeks now!
Everywhere is out of stock. I've tried every Currys and PC World in the North East and online, they're all gone.
Any ideas?
I'd like to steer clear of eBay as nobody will guarantee a 100% scratch free screen.

Could try gumtree I got one two months old with receipt and case for 160 pound. Seen one go for 90 pound. They don't seem to sell very well second hand so even month old listings and they still have it forsale and drop the price.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, just thought I'd ask as you mentioned that you were going to get a new one.

so i sold my atrix on ebay, never received any feedback its been about a month...
today buyer says the back cover is missing protective grid dynamic?
im not sure what he means, he says its missing the mesh? and now wants me to purchase a new cover
can i see your guys back cover front and back?
and what should i do? should i give him $ to buy cover + how much should i give him
No chance mate. Did you send it with signature required? If so then he or she should of flagged the issue immediately. Not a whole month later. I guess the "mesh" is the speaker cover.......
Anyhow tell the douche to do one. Hope you don't give in to the threats and pressure.

If they don't complain within a week of receive its not your problem. My 2 cents.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
yes i shipped fed ex 2 day with signature
he purchased it as a new york buyer, but is contacting me a ukraine buyer i offered to get me one from ebay for 12$ he said they don't ship to ukraine and he wants 15 + buyers fee? lol 3$
im guessing he bought the phone, it gets sent to a ny address and then sent to the ukraine
i feel i dont have to pay him anything, but the way ebay protects buyers is what scares me
i wouldn't worry. if it's been a month. it's more than likely that they damaged it. Buyers fee??? they're having a laugh!!
i hate people who don't give feedback! ebay need to sort that one out!!!
Give eBay a call... Their customer service is actually pretty good and they can walk you through exactly what your rights are. They won't keep you on hold for too long, either! Definitely worth the call.
